Parliamentary Hall!

Yang Yue couldn't help but smile secretly when he learned about the battle situation on the front line.

Summoned hundreds of officials into the palace to discuss the Northern Expedition.

Hundreds of officials gathered, their expressions were calm, no officials were afraid of the Turkic southern expedition, on the contrary, they had a strong fighting spirit!

Yang Yue's cold eyes swept over the hundreds of officials who exchanged their heads and ears, and said straight to the point: "Agus died violently, Yiran inherited the throne of Khan, and the internal situation of the Turks has not yet stabilized. King Zuoxian, King Lili of Zuogu, and Yan Xingjun gathered more than 10 tribes and gathered 400,000 cavalry to march southward.

Forcing the Turks, they had to gather heavy tribal troops and take risks!"

Earlier, when he learned of the violent death of Argus, Yang Yue guessed that the Turks might pass on the crisis in order to tide over the drought and lead the army to the south to plunder grain and wealth.

He didn't expect that Yi Ran, a reckless man, regardless of the internal situation of the Turks, sent Zuo Xian Wang, Zuo Gu Li Wang, Yan Xingjun and other tribal leaders to lead the elite cavalry to the south in a hurry.

At present, the Turkic elite cavalry suddenly went south, which may bring a lot of threat to the Tang Dynasty in the military, at least Zhang Shaoming led the army to defend against the enemy in Fengzhou, and it will face a very big crisis at the beginning.

Kannai Province, the first line of Hedong Province, and even fell when the defenders were very few and unguarded.

These Datang losses arise!

However, the Turks gathered 400,000 elite horsemen and mobilized their troops to the south, almost pouring the strength of the tribe into the south.

Not only could it not solve the drought of the tribes, but it also made the poor situation of the Turks worse and brought them to the brink of collapse!

In this battle, if Zhang Shaoming led the garrison to successfully resist the first surprise attack of the sudden elite cavalry, when reinforcements from all directions of the Tang Dynasty arrived, the situation of the Turks would become passive.

If Zhang Shaoming led the army and did not block the raid of the Turkic elite cavalry, several cities on the first line of Fengzhou fell, and the king of Zuoxian, the king of Zuogu Li, and the troops of Yan Xingjun plundered grain, gold and silver.

Even though it won temporarily, the Tang army quickly assembled and was still able to block the pace of the Turkic elite cavalry expedition south in Guannei Province and Hedong Province.

The two sides confronted each other on the front line, for a month, maybe two months at most, relying only on the plundered money and food of the Turks, when there was no way to sustain the army and food.

The problem of money and food ultimately affected the morale and momentum of the Turkic iron cavalry.

The Turkic elite cavalry couldn't last long.

Moreover, the Turks did not actively solve the problem of drought, but hoped to change the situation of the tribe through plunder.

When the cold winter came, the Tang sabers and guns were put into storage, the horses were put in Nanshan, and a snowstorm was enough to send the Turks back to the west.

In his experience, the drought gets worse in the summer, and the snowstorm gets worse in the winter.

Therefore, the Turks went south, not only allowing the Tang Dynasty to justifiably conquer the Turks, but also helping the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the Turks when the winter climate became bad and the food problem was not solved.

When the officials heard Yang Yue's words, most of them knew that Yang Yue had always insisted on the Northern Expedition and completely wiped out the Turks.

At this time, Yang Yue said to Wolongsheng: "Tell Zhuqing about the battle situation in the north!"

Wolongsheng did not support the Northern Expedition at first, at least not in advance of the Northern Expedition!

Now, King Zuoxian, King Ligu of Zuogu, and Yan Xingjun led the army to the south, and the soldiers came to the border of the Tang Dynasty, threatening the people and the safety of the city.

If you don't rectify the soldiers and horses, wave the Northern Expedition, how can the Tang Dynasty have face.

Didn't you let the Turks plunder the wealth of the Tang Dynasty in vain and slaughter the people of the border fortress?

With a slight bow, Wo Longsheng signaled to the messenger next to him and explained the situation in the north to the hundred officials.

The messenger bowed to Yang Yue and saluted, turned to Baiguan and said: "Last night, King Zuo Xian personally led the army to attack Fengzhou, and the Turks came suddenly.

However, General Zhang only had 50,000 elite soldiers under his account, facing 400,000 Turkic elite cavalry, even if the defenders of each city coordinated resistance and insisted on fighting to the death, even if the defenders of each city had earth-shattering thunder and all kinds of firearms, they still could not hold out for too long.

General Zhang temporarily decided to send the villain back to Chang'an to report to him and ask for help, and in addition, send other messengers to Youzhou and Hexi to ask General Luo and General Guo for help."

After speaking, the messenger glanced at Yang Yue and bowed his head silently.

At this time, Yang Yue Longyan was furious and said coldly: "The Tang Dynasty finally solved the internal problems, and finally lived in peace for a few years, and the Turks led the army south to plunder, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were still in dire straits, how could the Turks be allowed to go wild.

In this battle, it is time to teach the Turks a hard lesson and completely destroy them in one fell swoop."

When the officials heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and whispered.

The grain in the warehouse of the Tang Dynasty, the gold and silver in the treasury, are all their kings and ministers, and the people come together.

In the past, when the Turks went south to snatch and the Tang Dynasty was weak, they had to endure humiliation.

This time, when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were still allied, the Turks wanted to plunder money and grain from the Tang Dynasty and transfer the crisis within the tribe.

Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested sending troops to crusade, and the Turks must not be allowed to wreak havoc in the north, they will come to kill one person, come to 400,000 to kill 400,000, it is time to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!" The criminal department Shangshu came out of the ranks, his face was angry, and he said categorically.

After inheriting the throne from Yang Yue, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty lost their strengths.

What's more, over the years, the Tang army has defeated the Turkic elite cavalry several times and is not afraid of the Turks.

In recent years, in order to relieve the threat from the West, the Tang army fought in Tibet, so it allied with the Turks.

Now that the battle on the Western Front is coming to an end, since the Turks have the heart of a tiger and a wolf, they should send troops to the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Ran said is extremely true, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, the army will cut them down, the Turkic people are wolf-like, and the court must not compromise!" The left servant shot Zhang Shaoqing and said forcefully.

For a while, many officials nodded in agreement and insisted on crusading against the Turks!

After a little quiet, Zhongshu ordered Gao Xiaoyun to walk to the center of the council hall, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic Southern Expedition, the court should return a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. However, relying on Nandao alone, the 100,000 elites led by Ye Qinghu encountered 400,000 Turkic elite cavalry, and they still couldn't change the overall situation.

Weichen suggested that General Luo be mobilized as soon as possible, and General Lin would lead an army from Youzhou and Shencheng to help, and first eliminate the Yan Department who went to Yunzhong County.

In this battle, the Turks made a desperate attempt to march south, and if they were defeated, the momentum of the Turks would weaken, and our army would be at an advantage.

In addition, Weichen proposed to win over the Khitan, and suggested that Yelu Yao take advantage of the internal instability of the Turks to lead the army to the east and contain the Turks on the eastern front, so as to reduce the pressure on our army, so as to make overall deployment, eradicate the Turks in a war, and capture King Zuoxian, King Li, and Yan Xing.

At the same time, it is necessary to send a strong general to lead the army to the north, and deploy defenses in the north of Guannei Province and Hedong Province, so as to prevent the Turkic elite cavalry from occupying the Fengzhou line and leading the army to the south without stopping."

400,000 elite riders?

Almost half of the Turkic elite is gone.
